We can be sure that our names are written in God's book & in His timing. The spirit is eternal & David's spirit will remain with his loved one's in every bright, shining star & in every colorful,beautiful rainbow & in the sun & the moon & the clouds & in all that you say & do.God bless,comfort & cherish you with all your precious memories to hold near & dear to your hearts.
